There's nothing to discuss. [Gathering a fistful of bedsheets, Arthur draws the covers up to his waist.]

My father had a good point. We may have --throw my belt over that chair, will you-- may have saved the city, but half the market got leveled in the process.

[He wiggles down a bit, getting comfortable as he continues.] That kind of victory ( Read more... )

Anything else, sire? [Without waiting for a reply, Merlin leans over Arthur, pulling the blanket to the side to properly kiss him.]

[The magical maneuver and kiss cause a corner of Arthur's mouth to tug up in a small smile. Feeling a little brighter, he takes advantage of Merlin's proximity to curl his fingers in the fabric of his shirt and tug him close for another sleepy kiss.]

Stay with me. [A few beats of silence.] ...And a back rub wouldn't be unappreciated, either, if you think you can manage it.
